<\/a>I had plenty of time before work this morning, so I headed over to the cafe for breakfast.<\/p>\nWhen I tried ordering, the woman behind the counter announced that she was on a coffee break. \u00a0Or a break from coffee, I don’t remember. \u00a0I was hungry and under-caffeinated. \u00a0I had to wait until her co-worker showed up before I could order a cup and a croissant.<\/p>\nTHAT’S better. \u00a0I might not kill anyone at work today, Meagan.<\/p>\nI sat for a while talking to some of the neighbours, enjoying the company and the coffee. \u00a0But, eventually I needed to get to work.<\/p>\nIt was “collection day” at the office, which really had me nervous over the return of the aliens. \u00a0That happened, right? \u00a0I’m not just imagining it, I’m certain. \u00a0Anyway, no what they meant was rocks and things. \u00a0I was getting quite proficient in digging things up.<\/p>\nBut apparently “collecting” also included collecting fish. \u00a0I’ve never been fishing in my life, and it wasn’t’ something I\u00a0had ever put on a list of things I’d wanted to do before I die.<\/p>\nBut suddenly there I was, trying to convince fish they needed to come with me. \u00a0I figured I’d just sneak up on them when they were trying to sleep, and just pull them out of their home in the water and into my OH MY GOD I’M THE ALIEN! \u00a0I’M ABDUCTING FISH. \u00a0I put them all back.<\/p>\nInside, I watched as Caitlyn broke the computer, then just walked away to play with the microscope. \u00a0We’re both going to blame Meagan.<\/p>\n“Meagan sure did break that computer, alright,” Caitlyn mentioned. \u00a0I needed to upgrade by simray Steve, to include a transformative setting. \u00a0Time to see if that works.<\/p>\nI decided to try it out on one of the office chairs. \u00a0I fired it up, but Summer started talking, distracting me as I let loose. \u00a0I’m surprised I didn’t transform the entire building into a potato or some such.<\/p>\nWell, that worked. \u00a0Nice chair.<\/p>\nTime for lunch with Summer, with Meagan pretending not to be listening. \u00a0The first week at work is almost over, and while I love my job and – most – of the co-workers, I look forward to the weekend, and blowing off a little steam.<\/p>\n<\/a>And hey, it’s Friday night! \u00a0The night is relatively young, time to hit the local disco for some fun with the girls! \u00a0Georgia showed up with us, but turned and left once she saw the crowd and the lasers. \u00a0She said something about “collection night”, and wandered off.<\/p>\nThe place was jumping!<\/p>\n<\/a>Oh look, there’s Serge. \u00a0Wonderful. \u00a0Luckily he ignored me and tried dancing with a number of other women, who spent the evening trying to avoid him.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nLooking fabulous, ladies.<\/p>\n<\/a>What a beautiful place, I’m so happy I decided to move here. Luckily there’s a restaurant not far from the club.<\/p>\nYes, I know it’s quarter past 1 in the morning, Mr Kim, but your sign clearly says “Open”, and so was the door. \u00a0And you’re standing here at the front counter. \u00a0And the chef is busy in the kitchen, and there are PEOPLE EATING HERE. Stop being such a grump.<\/p>\nMenu looks nice, and the prices are reasonable. \u00a0Well… reasonable for someone who can afford walls. \u00a0It’s going to take a chunk of my bank account, but I really need to eat.<\/p>\nIt took over an hour for the food to get here, considering there were three people sitting out on the patio, and they already had food. \u00a0But finally, it arrived; a nice glass of wine and some poached salmon.<\/p>\n<\/a>Sigh. \u00a0Dinner was fantastic. \u00a0So was this fork. \u00a0What a great fork. \u00a0The waitress took away the dishes, but I asked to keep the fork for a while longer. \u00a0I love you, fork.<\/p>\nTime to get home though. \u00a0Four o’clock on a Saturday morning, and I finally hit the streets for the slog back to my pretty lot on the Island. \u00a0What a fantastic evening! \u00a0Here’s to a weekend off!<\/p>\n
